Chai Glazed Pumpkin Monkey Bread Food

CHAI-SPICED PUMPKIN LOAF

Steps:

• For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edges of the pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, cardamom, ginger, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Whisk together the pumpkin, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until completely incorporated.
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it and the cake springs back when gently pressed, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: In the meantime, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, chai tea, cream and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the cooled loaf and let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

CHAI SPICED PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan. I like to use a basting brush to make sure the oil coats all the parts of the pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar (3/4 cup), white sugar (3/4 cup) and the canola oil (1/2 cup) using an electric mixer on high speed for about 30 seconds (until sugars are fully coated in the oil).
• Add the 2 eggs. Mix together for about one minute on high speed until it starts to get fluffy.
• Add the 1 cup canned pumpkin and Chai Tea Latte Concentrate (1/2 cup). Mix until well combined on high speed (about 30 seconds).
• Add the baking soda (1 teaspoon), baking powder (1/2 teaspoon), cinnamon (1 teaspoon), pumpkin pie spice (1 teaspoon), and kosher salt (1 teaspoon). Mix again until fully combined (30 seconds to a minute).
• Add the flour (1 2/3 cups). Using a wooden spoon, mix until only just combined, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
• Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan, using a rubber spatula to get all of the batter out and to smooth out the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 65-70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes in pan, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling almost completely before slicing into 8 pieces.

CHAI-GLAZED PUMPKIN MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix Bisquick™ mix, pumpkin, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons melted butter, egg and vanilla to form soft dough.
• In wide shallow bowl, use whisk to mix remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the cinnamon.
• Scoop dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and roll into cinnamon-sugar.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat 3/4 cup butter, the brown sugar, whipping cream, vanilla and salt to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; pour into pan. Carefully place coated dough balls in pan, taking care not to burn hands on hot butter and sugar mixture.
• Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack 10 minutes before carefully turning out onto plate.
• Meanwhile, make chai glaze. In microwavable glass, microwave milk about 30 seconds or until just hot to the touch. Add chai tea bags; steep 15 minutes. Squeeze bags to release any liquid they've absorbed.
• Place powdered sugar in small bowl. Using whisk, beat chai mixture a few tablespoons at a time into powdered sugar to desired consistency. You may have more chai mixture than you need. Drizzle over monkey bread that has been turned out onto plate.
